An Heavenly Sword review just appeared on Polish biggest portal (onet.pl). Right now it's the biggest new in "Culture" section so quite many people should read it (it may be even the most read HS review in Poland, now 115 thousands of people have seen the page).
Review is very positive, I'm not going into details but it looks sth like this: it starts with introduction into HS's story, than praises fighting system ("incredible, fantastic fighting system") and graphics ("Visual masterpiece"). It finishes with statemant that "game is almost perfect" but has some faults: short gameplay ("twelve, max. 14 hours") and some levels with Kai that seems to be not as good.

The average score is 9.3 (graphics 9.5, sound 9.0, playability: 9.5, power strength*: 9.0)

*power strength - I don't know what this parameter means, so I translated it literally. For me it doesnt make sense even in Polish.

Honestly, if Devil may Cry was two hours shorter, that would make it a worse game?

I think I'll listen to more credible reviews.

Well heavenly sword is going to sell a million neverthe less.

@dtewi why?

Gametrailers is very responsible, if they give it a 7.9 then its a 7.9 game.

from waht reviews I read and trailers I saw I would say 8.5 ... but my opinion worths nothing , because I didnt played the game :?

Gameinformer gives Heavenly Sword an 8.75 and a 9

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-66329.aspx

CONCEPT:
A cinematic tale of courage and vengeance, plus lots of fighting

GRAPHICS:
If you can tear your eyes away from the swirling blades and dazzling CG, you’ll see some pretty environments, too

SOUND:
The voice acting brings the characters to life, and a wonderful score fuels the story and the action

PLAYABILITY:
ulling off combos and switching among the styles works well, but the lack of an active block is a pain. Also, some of the button-press minigames seem designed for you to fail the first time

ENTERTAINMENT:
Combat is fluid, and the story takes some unexpected twists. Be aware that the fun won’t last forever, though

REPLAY:
Moderate

gameinformer is reliable sometimes,

So far the only AAA titles the ps3 has is

Warhawk
Resistance
and Ninja gaiden
heavenly sword is alomst there an 8.3 average just a little more...

So becasue they have a good video editing guy and a decent speech guy their reviews are perfect ?  Just becasue they say its something sure as hell does not make it so.

Their design score of 6.5 is one of the most stupid scores HS got from any reviewer. 

 The fancy video editing is clearly evident that they have an anti-sony bias....
